Australia’s competition and consumer watchdog has launched Federal Court action against Webjet, accusing the online travel booking site of misleading consumers about flight prices and bookings.
“During this time of cost pressures, many consumers are carefully considering travel arrangements and seeking to save money. A statement about the lowest price must be a true minimum price, not a price subject to further fees and charges before a booking can be made.” The ACCC said in these cases Webjet then allegedly sought additional payment from the consumers to complete the booking, or offered the consumer a refund for the flight, despite having earlier confirmed the booking.
“Webjet Marketing takes compliance with Australian Consumer Law extremely seriously and has always prided itself on its high levels of trust with all stakeholders, especially our customers.
